A firewall is a software program or a dedicated computer that restricts or allows
traffic on a Network. These Networks are of various types and the most common are the
World Wide Web (an Internet - public), a local network or private network (an Intranet -
private) and domains (a group of computers - public or private). The main reasons for
restricting traffic on a Computer Network is to block unrequested data and to allow\disallow a Software Program's (Skype, Firefox, etc.) access.
The windows 7 Firewall is a Software Firewall and is pre-installed as a part of the Operating System. It blocks both Inbound and Outbound Traffic, is capable of logging and allows for Custom Rule creation. Rules are the instructions the Firewall follows in the handling of Network Traffic. Rules are based on IP Addresses, Protocols, Ports and Programs. Firewall Policies usually refer to the entire set of Rules (inbound or outbound) for a Network Type (public, private or domain) but, can refer to all Rules for all Network
Types as a whole. The Windows 7 Firewall allows for the simultaneous implementation of Firewall Rules for each separate type of Network. This ability is an upgrade from the
Windows Vista Firewall which only allows the implementation of one Network Policy
(public, private or domain) at a time. The Video shows how I access the Windows 7
Firewall, manipulate it, create Rules and back-up\restore the entire Firewall Policy.
